The Ultimate Complete Final Social Media Sizing Cheat Sheet In June of this year, we published an infographic listing all of the sizing information for images on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest. It was a wildly successful piece of content, totally blowing our expectations out of the water. Unfortunately, while its popularity has flourished, nearly every social network instituted changes to their image sizes, rendering most of the information on the infographic out of date. We knew we needed to update the information on the cheat sheet, but we weren’t comfortable with simply adjusting one or two figures on the blog post and leaving it as-is. We also decided to permanently redirect the old sheet here, so that shared tweets, pins, likes, and so on, would lead to the correct sizing dimensions. So, without further ado, here it is – the ultimate, complete, final social media sizing cheat sheet. Embed the cheat sheet on your own blog or site using the embed code below! Is the student ready to be a teacher?

What is Your Myers Briggs Social Media Type? Have you ever taken the Myers Briggs test? It is an assessment based on Carl Jung’s theory of psychological types that looks at what kind of characters people have and is broken down into four categories: extraversion or introversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving. These assessments are extremely accurate if taken properly and essential to group constructions for projects and group dynamics. Recently, the developers of the study, CPP, compared their data to those who use social media and the results are fascinating. Here are some of the best parts of the stats of users on the infographic: 69% of extraverts use Facebook, higher than the 65% average of all people, and more than the 60% of introverts.75% of feeling people browse once a day but only 23% share about their personal lifeIntuition people are more likely to use LinkedIn and Twitter than Sensing people.

7 Things You Never Knew About LinkedIn Search HR You’ve built your LinkedIn profile, updated your work experience and education and you’re all set to launch your job search, land new clients and/or grow your business. But how do you stand out from LinkedIn’s 200 Million other members? How do you make sure that people and opportunities can actually find you? 1. When people search LinkedIn, the results are, by default, sorted by “Relevance” – which is code for “LinkedIn’s Proprietary Search Algorithm.” So what does this mean to you and me? 2. A LinkedIn profile has many different sections, but LinkedIn’s Search Algorithm likes some of them better than others. 3. Like Skills, you can join up to 50 groups (not counting subgroups!) 4. Sorry, but placing keywords in your contact section does nothing since this section is excluded from LinkedIn Search. 5. Think about all of the different ways of saying the same thing and be varied in your language when writing your profile. 6. 7. An optimized LinkedIn profile can have far-reaching effects.

How Local Search Will Evolve in 2013 [6 Predictions] A decade from now, when the next John Battelle writes the definitive retrospective on the mobile-local internet, my guess is that 2012 will be viewed as the tipping point for local search. At Google, 2011 may well be viewed as more critical, but 2012 was a much bigger year for the space as a whole, especially from the consumer’s and business owner’s perspective. It’ll be tough for 2013 to top a year that saw: The acceleration of local search volumes due to unprecedented smartphone adoptionThe growing ubiquity of mobile payment devicesThe release of Google+ LocalThe release of Apple Maps (and inclusion of Yelp reviews front-and-center)The release of the Google Maps appThe release of Facebook Nearby Even if you focus on just those last three bullet points, 2012 still reigns supreme: When the three largest players in Silicon Valley all release major locally-oriented products within three months of each other, you know the space is heating up. Google Will Re-Introduce its SMB Dashboard
